That's what I rejoice about

I will never be famous. And, I don't say that with any sense of disappointment or false modesty. I have no unique talent. I have no special skills. There is nothing I can do that is in high demand anywhere. There is absolutely nothing about me that would cause anyone in this world to say, "You are da bomb!" And, I am perfectly okay with that.

I have been known to tell folks that I want to live a perfectly anonymous life, then, die and go to Heaven. That is truly what I want. Some folks want fame and fortune; they want you to "know who they are". Some folks strive to be known as the greatest this or the greatest that or the meanest this or the nicest that, and all of that is well and fine. It truly is. But, my rejoicing doesn't come from earthly accolades...

Today's word is Luke 10:20, NIV, which reads, "However, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in Heaven."

You can be the greatest whatever EVER but if you don't know JESUS as your LORD and SAVIOR, you are missing the greatest thing you could ever be - joint heirs. You may be able to run faster than anyone else in the world. You may be able to lift more weight than anyone else in the world. You may be the absolute most physically beautiful person in the whole world. BUT, none of that will affect eternity.

We are all here for a very short dispensation of time. Even if we live to be 100, I truly believe it will seem but just a fleeting moment. And, when we leave this life, all the earthly accolades, awards, designations we have amassed will not go with us into eternity. I may never receive any earthly accolades but my name is written in Heaven! And, that's what I rejoice about!

Be Blessed,
Mickey T
